I have no doubt I have missed some good prospects here....I left off the guys that clearly will be off the board before the Rams pick (Werner, Mingo, Gino Smith ect.). I have included guys that I think would help the Rams at what I think are the greatest areas of need....a couple may be wishful thinking that they fall to 16 (Warmack & Vaccaro namely);
Warmack,G, Alabama
Cooper, G, NC
Lane Johnson, T, Oklahoma
Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri
Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida
Jon Jenkins, DT, Georgia
Alec Ogletree, LB, Georgia
Arthur Brown, LB, Kansas State
Vaccaro, SS, Texas
Jonathan Banks, CB, Mississippi State
Matt Elam, SS, Florida
Cordarrede Patterson, WR, Tennessee
Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia
Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame
Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford
Giovani Bernard, RB, North Carolina
My best case scenario would have Vaccaro and Warmack ending up in St. Louis. If Warmack goes early (Tennessee perhaps) that 16 pick should go D, either Vaccaro, Olgetree, Banks (move him to safety) or possibly any of the DT listed would work for me. Cooper could still be there at 21 along with any of the WR listed and Lane Johnson. One of the TEs should be there still I would think.
With what looks like an early run (averaging out the mocks I have seen) at the DE, OT and DT spots along with the tradition of a couple of teams trading up and or reaching for QBs the Rams should be able to add an difference maker at one of their biggest need positions. My best case lines up like this;
Round 1a) Warmack, G, Alabama
Round 1b) Vaccaro, S, Texas
Round 2) Brown, LB, Kansas St....although if Bernard, RB, North Carolina falls to their pick in the second round that might be too great a value to pass up.
Could see something like;
1a) Olgetree, LB, Georgia
1b) Lane Johnson, T, Oklahoma
or
1a) Richardson, DT, Missouri
1b) Elam, S, Florida
No matter who is left at 16, should be a good pick at a position of need....21, who knows? might move out of or to the end of the first round with that one.
